    I am a young, creative and enthusiatic individual, with the energy and drive to get things done. My can-do attitude, diligent approach to achieving goals, talent, and upbeat, energetic sense of humour has always been an asset to my team, and I hope it will continue to do so. As for my cretivity; I am a highly inspired, inventive, and innovative individual who can generate new ideas, and evolve existing ones into a fully-fledged final article.

    You will see from my CV that I have gained a wide variety of both transferable and specific skills, which relate to working in broadcasting. I am looking forward to hearing from you in the near future.
